Science and Religion: East and West de Yiftach Fehige

Science and Religion: East and West: Science and Technology Studies

Editat de Yiftach Fehige
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2018
This volume situates itself within the context of the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that is dedicated to the study of the complex interactions between science and religion. It presents an innovative approach insofar as it addresses the Eurocentrism that is still prevalent in this field. At the same time it reveals how science develops in the space that emerges between the ‘local’ and the ‘global’. The volume examines a range of themes central to the interaction between science and religion: ‘Eastern’ thought within ‘Western’ science and religion and vice versa, and revisits thinkers who sought to integrate ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ thinking. It studies Zen Buddhism and its relation to psychotherapy, Islamic science, Vedantic science, atheism in India, and Darwinism, offering in turn new perspectives on a variety of approaches to nature.
Part of the Science and Technology Studies series, this volume brings together original perspectives from major scholars from across disciplines and will be of great interest to scholars and students of science and technology studies, history of science, philosophy of science, religious studies, and sociology.

Recenzii

"By extending the scope of the discussion beyond the Western Christian world, it not only addresses these old questions but raises some new ones." - Gregory W. Dawes, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand
"Yitfach Fehige argues that the growing field of science and religion has a 'predominant narrow focus on Western Christendom' (2)." - Jonathan Edelmann, University of Florida, USA
“This is one of the most important recent historical studies of science and religion because it looks at the issues in a global context…this book is an excellent source for a course on science and religion, providing new histories beyond the more familiar, but equally important, Western histories. The editor and chapter authors also provide substantial material for scholars and scientists interested in the science-religion dialogue.” (https://readingreligion.org/9781138961364/science-and-religion/)
“…an…outstanding volume.” (ISIS: A Journal of the History of Science Society, vol. 108, number 3 (2017), p. 675)
“Anne Harrington’s stands out from the rest in this volume as a strong stand-alone piece that answers the question of why Zen Buddhism has acquired an almost universal understanding in the West as a form of ‘psychotherapy by other means,’ a view that is profoundly alien to its practice in Japanese temples and monasteries.” (NUMEN: International Journal for the History of Religions, vol. 66 (2019), p. 319).
“Fehige’s contributors illustrate that the one universal element of the study of religion and science is that there are very few universals, and any assumptions regarding their supposed ‘conflict’ must be thoroughly debunked.” (Religious Studies Review, vol. 44, number 4 (2018), p. 389)
